bendengee Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hello everyone! I need some help... I'm trying to upgrade from leather steeringwheel to Wood steeringwheel for my 99 GS300. I bought a wood steeringwheel & airbag that came off of 04 GS430 but the airbag plugs don't match. I thought this was just going to be a straight upgrade but guess I was wrong... Has anyone done this? Do I need some kind of an adapter plug for the newer airbag? If anyone can let me know how I can make it work, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Neo Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 The airbags are not compatible. The 98-00 airbags are single-stage while the 01+ are dual-stage. As you have found out, they also have different plugs. The only airbag that has been confirmed to work for your situation is an 2001 RX300 airbag. This airbag has the new shape while still being a single-stage airbag (and connector). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 The 2001-2003 rx300 steering wheels will work. If i were you, i would just buy an rx steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandgap112 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Bendengee, Do you still have the wood wheel? What color is it? I'm looking for a wood wheel for my 2002 GS430 with tan leather. Bandgap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
